Former Milan boss Fabio Capello has praised current Coach MassimilianoAllegri, despite their poor start to the season.

The Rossoneri sit in 11th place in Serie A, 12 points off of leaders Juventus after the first seven games. But the Russia man has given the 45-year-old his own seal of approval, as well as commenting on Saturday's game against Lazio.

“I think Allegri is a great Coach,” he told Sky Sport Italia. “I talk often with him, and it is clear he is very well prepared.

“At this time, it is very important that Milan go on to the field without any awe, and that the players play to their maximum.

“The StadioOlimpico is a traditionally a good place for Milan, and I think the game against Lazio will be a good one.”
